Brooks hours populate here
2nd Floor
Visitors to Memphis Brooks Museum of Art will now be able to experience life and art from ancient civilizations in a gallery newly renovated through the generosity of the Clarence Day Foundation. Most of the works on display in the new Ancient Art Gallery were made for daily use by ordinary people, and offer surprising parallels to our own world today.
The newly installed exhibition exquisitely presents these superb works while providing a safe environment in state-of-the-art cases that control humidity levels. New research and information generated during the process is now available on the museum’s online eMuseum system.
